Living In Carroll Park, Philadelphia, PA

Looking for the very best that Philadelphia has to offer without subjecting yourself to the hectic hustle and bustle of downtown? Bala Cynwyd apartments for rent have everything you're looking for - and more!

Situated on the outer rim of Philly's metropolitan area, your new neighborhood is bordered by St. Joseph's University to the east, the verdant walking paths of Merion Botanical Park just to the north and the pleasant expanse of wooded Morris Park to the southwest. Head southeast and you'll reach the heart of Philadelphia itself, giving you access to great entertainment, lively culture and endless coffee shops and bars. In fact, all you have to do is hop on the Overbrook stop on the SEPTA line and you'll be ushered into downtown Philly. Hit up the Philadelphia Museum of Art or go to a ballgame at Citizens Bank Stadium. Either way, you'll have a blast explore this thriving city.

Of course, staying at home has plenty of perks as well. Why not swing by the Overbrook Park Library for a copy of the latest book on your reading list. Before you head in, remember to grab a cup of coffee from the local Dunkin' Donuts on City Avenue. Then again, if you'd prefer to patron a mom and pop shop, you can head uptown to the Main Line Baking Co., where you can score a delicious pastry with your java. Or go for a relaxing stroll through Fairmount Park, at the center of which you'll find The Centennial Cafe, like a beacon for hungry and thirsty travelers. Kick back and find a good view of either Centennial Lake or the Schuylkill River, which runs nearby, separating your neighborhood from the urban center of Philly.
